Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders, amid a backdrop of misinformation about responses to recent storms.
Some FEMA operations were paused in Ashe County out of an abundance of caution Sunday, Ashe County Sheriff B. Phil Howell said on Facebook. This includes in-person applications for aid in at least two locations “due to threats occurring in some counties,” according to the county’s emergency management office. That assistance is expected to resume Monday.
It’s a really shitty thing to do, and I can’t believe people are actually falling for it, but it’s a really effective solution seen with GOP eyes. The government don’t get to help people, people get outraged with the government, people get outraged with the democrats (ruling party), GOP has a clearer path towards cutting government functions they don’t want, people get worse off.
It’s just very impressive that people fall for this dogshit
